Overview

Refers to colored glass that is created by adding metallic oxides to the molten glass, which creates various colors. The term "stained glass" is sometimes applied to painted glass, which involves fusing pigment onto the surface, although strictly speaking "stained glass" applies only to glass in which metallic oxides were added to color molten glass.
